Lloyd Larson's setting of this heartfelt African American spiritual makes for a moving Lenten anthem. The optional, reproducible cello part is included in the octavo and further enhances the dramatic effect of the familiar text: "They crucified my Lord, but he never said a mumbalin' word. Not a word, not a word, not a word.".
